Option C not D. DriveSpy’s a Windows tool but FileSalvage is actually built for Mac, so makes sense here.
Option C FileSalvage for sure. Only one here built for Mac file recovery. Pretty sure that's what the question wants.
C definitely. FileSalvage fits the Mac requirement here, not like DriveSpy which is Windows-focused.
I don’t think it’s C. DriveSpy (D) seems like a stronger option for actual forensics and deleted file recovery, at least from what I remember in exam prep. FileSalvage is Mac-focused but not always the go-to unless the question was very specific. Anyone see D picked on similar questions?
Call it C. FileSalvage is designed for Mac file recovery, so it matches the scenario. The other tools are either for network analysis or Windows systems. Pretty sure about this unless they've changed tool compatibility recently.
Honestly, EC-Council tosses in ancient tools like DriveSpy just to mess with us. C tbh.
Why would anyone pick D here when FileSalvage (C) is made for Mac? Seems like DriveSpy is just there as a decoy.
I get why some might think D, but DriveSpy is aimed at Windows systems. Since this is clearly about a Mac, C (FileSalvage) fits best. It's designed for macOS file recovery specifically. Pretty sure that's the intention here, but open to other takes if I'm missing something.
Nah, D's a common trap since DriveSpy is Windows based. C is for Mac, so that's it here.
See a similar case in the official guide, C
